It will cost you.

I am joining in with Toni of Make it Perfect and whole slew of bloggers to help raise money for flood affected families.

In a few days I will be holding an online raffle. The prize will be a toy of course! An entry in the raffle is going to cost you $5 paid directly to the Flood relief appeal .

On that site you can make an online donation, and once you are done you will get a receipt number.

You then need to pop over here, and leave a comment with your receipt number and you will be entered. If my prize doesn't interest you , there will be raffles, auctions and sales popping up all over blogland - Just pop on over to Toni's blog on Friday when the master list will be up.

I had been planning on an auction, but I think I like the idea of a raffle better. Thanks for the info about receipt numbers, I'd been wondering how to make it work and really didn't want people to have to pay money to me which then got passed along.

I love the way bloggers are uniting to help out for those affected in the floods.

Right now we're waiting for daylight to see how my sister's house fared. It's right in the flood zone, and was looking a bit scary this afternoon. Hoping water doesn't creep in under the front door. (She's moved to higher ground!).

We've spent the afternoon walking around near the river (across a big bridge). Surreal, scary, sad to see people's boats go floating by, pontoons ripping from their moorings and drift off down stream. The river is so powerful at the moment.
